The black man on the dock is the Co-Captain of the Harriett River Boat, the boat that was unable to dock for 45 minutes because the owner of the small private boat refused to respond to the loud speaker requests to move his boat. So the Co-Captain was taken to the dock to take care of the situation, and the fight broke out. That man had authority to clear the area so that the river boat could dock. Self-entitled people need to stop this hatred!
As a black woman, born and raised in the south, I’m glad that black men, women, and a swimming black teen came through and said, “Not today!” Listen, I do not “delight” in violence, but I am not a proponent of the whole “Violence is never the answer” ideology, especially when violence was clearly the question. The finding out phase of effing around is a real thing. I hope bail for the ones who came to the rescue is raised. I also hope that young teen, who swam to help, remains protected and cared for.
Indeed. It's not the answer, it's the question, and the answer is always "Only if you insist." It's never good to start fights where they can be avoided, but it's even worse to allow predation to occur where you could reduce it to a fight instead. A fight is regrettable, but far better than allowing a lynching or even just a one-sided beating.
True indeed, sistren. Random violence? No. SELF DEFENSE? YES...ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. Respect to the memory of Huey, Bobby Hutton, Chairman Fred, Robert F. Williams, Brother Minister El Hajj Malik El Shabazz & SO MANY, MANY MORE who ALL advocated for Black self defense. IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. Bless up. 🙏🏽
If you end up hearing about any initiative raising bail money for those who assisted the man in defending himself, please post it. I'm sure plenty of people here would be willing to donate to it.
That’s because it will cause someone (ie some privileged person) to ‘feel shame’ about historical objective facts. So racism can perpetuate under the guise of being ‘considerate’ of the privileged people.
@@TheSiralex76 If you're not ashamed of slavery, Jim Crow, and continued racism, then....you're either brown, or racist. I didn't do it. I don't condone it. I call it what it is and don't "white" wash it. But I still benefit from it.
@@cariwaldick4898nah man, no one needs to feel shame for something they did not do. They need to feel shame for not doing something about the present conditions caused by horrible people in the past. But only in so far that that shame drives them to try and make things better or right past wrongs. If the shame just cripples them or makes them a whiney jerk, or makes them feel like just feeling shame is enough I neither want nor need it. Your family or therapist can help you process the feels the sins of the past give you. White tears are useless in and of themselves. White action is incredibly influential especially middle and upper class white action. Get on board or get out of the way.
Actions and consequences, otherwise known as Fuck Around and Find Out. They say fear is contagious....but so is bravery. To those who jumped in to help defend/save this man - *YOU* are Making America Great Again. Someone get these folks a goddamn medal!
The difference between the memorials in Europe and in the US is that in Europe the flags of the perpetrators aren't flown proudly, and there aren't statues of the ones who ordered it done.
But God forbid you call a spade a spade and compare Confederate to Nazis, because "those were your fellow countrymen!" As though that isn't more true in Germany
The thoughts of the many believe that the armed forces of the axis powers and the US confederate army's in general were not brave men, they were. Remember what they were fighting to uphold and force on others, would the world be a better place if they had been successful , NO.
In order to condemn it you need to public acknowledge how terrible it was. Germany did that after WW2. They recognised the horror of what happened and decided collectively that they didn't want it to happen again so it is taught in schools and they have banned the flag and are pretty strict with measures to stop that kind of hate from spreading. It is a whole different story with the southern states. Too many people still think that they were the good guys in it all and allowing them to fly their flags and keep their statues standing means they can keep that view just bubbling underneath the surface. Of course they don't say it plainly out in public because polite society would call them out on it but the whole atmosphere in those states is saturated with that underlying current of race superiority. If anyone were to try to take down statues or remove flags they would have to admit that they were in the wrong and they simply can't do that.
Yes, he was 100% correct no matter where this incident had happened. He was doing his job keeping the docks clear for the proper, assigned vessels and the dudes on the pontoon boat were violating the docking rules.
I agree but they've had problems with this group before and the wise thing would be to let the police handle it. Peaceful solutions triumphs ignorance.
@@negralopez5025 they had problems with these people in the past and these people were ignorant but you can't force ignorant people to respect you. So just be peaceful stay on the boat enjoy the view and let the cops take care of it. You don't have to prove nothing to ignorant people. Peaceful trumps ignorant. You don't have to prove anything to these people. My neighborhood in Montgomery has black on black fights all the time like this and groups cheering them on but sadly some of them don't go home. I call the police if I hear it going on because I want people to go home. Just saying if you recognize someone as ignorant don't try to make them respect you. Just be peaceful.
I have watched coverage of this on TYT and other places- this is the first time I've heard of the history of the docks. Wow. Thanks to Beau for bringing full context.
They understand anytime they claim not to they are just trying justify their raciest acts. Or the fact they are with the racism. People aren’t stupid, that’s why it’s a good thing a white man with this thinking is speaking on it. We as black peoples aren’t responsible for explaining what’s obvious.
@@easybakeoven1939 Ok, now that you have mastered a 3rd grade knowledge on how words work, now try to apply a little common sense. That is the question your brain came up with? Really? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Incredibly sad. It's embarassing
This co-captain fix his mouth and said that attack wasn't racially motivated. When you got 8 white boys attacking you and beating the sht out of you that is racially motivated. He should got his ass whipped
I am a black woman and I’m so glad most white saw how it really happened and did not take the white boys side! Love that and I laughed and watched it over and over! I needed that laugh in this day and age!
I believe the history is being taught in an amazing way in social media. More people got schooled on the history of the dock, Montgomery in general, and the inventor of the folding chair. The CRT(Critical Race Truth) lesson was taught with just phone recordings and memes.
We need our kids to be able to read at grade level, and do math at grade level. I can teach mine how bad we were treating. I don't have time to teach everything. I will teach them the history of Us and teach them how to be safe. The basics are up to the schools.
@@michellemoore4585I heard it in Rap Music like Rich Boy from Alabama - Let's Get This Paper he gives a window to his soul what it's exactly like living in Mobile Alabama as a Grim reminder how America is hasn't treated poc very well
As a Canadian with no education on the history of Montgomery, I appreciate the education I just received about the city. The Vasser family’s behaviour was disgusting enough without that context, and it’s 100% worse in view of it.
As an American- this incident was what happens at boat docks. Has nothing to fucking do with race. If these were Asians- this would have not been a story. But black and white? OH MY GOD- racism racism racism. Fucking ridiculous
As a Canadian, I appreciate your honesty, but I’m still shocked at your lock of knowledge in this subject matter as it pertains to slavery, the deep south and their participation. if this is new to you, my friend, you haven’t scratched the surface about black history in North America, including Canada. Canada was a major hub for the enslavery as well. Do you know that? They were as brutal as others were. They abolished slavery before the Americans and thats why many of the slaves escaped to Canada or Nova Scotia for example.
Black people don’t just experience racism. We feel it. It’s a sense that we’re born with. All we had to do was see the video to know exactly what happened. The white family didn’t feel like they had to take orders from a black man. Had a white man asked them to move; they would have done so immediately.
@@prestonbruchmiller497 You ain’t never lied, fam. I remember my grandmother used a totally different tone of voice when she answered the phone if she thought a white person was calling. This was long before caller ID. I asked her why she changed her voice? She said, “You never know who’s calling.” I knew what that meant as a child.
A white man ordering them around, and their compliance thereof depends on 2 things. How drunk they were, and if he was armed. White people don't like white people any more than black people. There is no sense of community beyond family and even that is highly conditional. If that same black man had been a cop they would have complied without a fuss because he could have shot them. That is the only thing that will get through to a drunk or angry man. Survival instinct.
@@pisces363agreed completely - those pontoon boat owners knew that they were in the wrong, 100% - their issue was not with the fact that they had docked their boat in a space reserved for the much larger riverboat, their issue was with the the fact that a ***black*** man came along and told them that they needed to move. Their violent response was SOLELY due to the fact that a black man dared to speak to them with authority. They probably would react the same way to a black police officer.
@@shadowbanned636 Think back to how white people reacted when Barack Obama became president. Many of them said, “He’s not my president.” They called him every name they could think of. They attacked his wife, his kids. They questioned his citizenship. After his terms ended; they made sure the next president was a racist. He didn’t win the popular vote, but; they made sure the electoral college worked in his favor. My point is that white people don’t take kindly to black people being in positions of authority. They think they’re the authorities in almost every situation. That’s why we see so many Karens confronting black people for simply living their lives. White people seem to feel like it’s their duty to put black people “in their place”.
Thank you Beau. To add, I'd bet that, like me, my brothers and sisters and especially that young man that swam over were moved in part because any one of those blows could have killed that man. They were watching another attempted m of a black man by a gang of white folks. We must understand that in all of our celebration, there is severe trauma. That young man dove in that water to stop them from killing his elder and he will carry that truama in his body along with all the other trauma young black men experience from just existing in this country. Please let's not brush that aside. That was a life or death situation for black folks so no, after the first fight is over it wasn't over because they easily could have killed that brother. Now back to celebrating some black unity.

Folding chair guy was alright till he brought it down on that woman's head like he was playing Whack-A-Mole. That got him arrested, and will probably get him an aggravated assault charge cause she was out of the fight at that point.
Except when he started using the chair in people who were no longer fighting. Yeah, they deserved it, but at that point it's no longer self defense, and he'll probably get some jail time for it.
Republicans and black conservatives don't think it exist but here we are lol. And some black conservatives are trying to flip the script calling the blacks criminal for this. Sad self destructive mindset
@@tracybernard5387 it's not. I live in Canada and ive never been questioned by yt ppl for being anywhere in public. Never been pulled over by a cop because of the color of my skin. not saying it doesn't happen here but compared to the U.S, its non-existent.
@@SaintPatrick1970 Or, hear me out on this one. Maybe the "news" you're watching wants you to remain ignorant. I know this might sound crazy to you as I've seen some of your other comments on this video, but step outside of your comfort zone and change the channel or read a different site that talks about news like this, you might develop some human decency and empathy towards people that don't look like you. Just some food for thought, Matthew 22:36-40 because using a handle like Saint Patrick I feel like you should at least have a basic understanding of the Bible.
So I was in Montgomery for a family reunion during this event. I met some of the people involved earlier that day. An added piece of context is that there was a Trump rally at the Alabama GOP convention the night before in Montgomery. So the people who started the altercation with the black dock worker probably felt little more emboldened than usual. Unfortunately for them we weren't the only Family reunion there that day, and we are NOT the same nergos of the antebellum south. We are the African Americans of today that WON'T GO BACK.
The ancestors are the reason we’re here today. They lived through unimaginable times, fought hard as hell to make it through so we wouldn’t be born into the same circumstances, and Montgomery is the birth place of the civil rights movement. Watch how you speak about them. You sound insane. We could NEVER be them.
We are the Black Americans that are indigenous to this land. All black Americans did not come from Africa. We were already here. They need to “go back” where they came from!
Yes, you and other ARE the fabric of America!!! The land is beautiful but the people are human.. We have the amazing ability to learn and evolve..And we have but as humans, we learn hard!! We change as the generations go by…That is why life is an amazing thing. The old die and the young move forward. It never stops..
My family is from Montgomery. Many of them migrated to Michigan, but when I told my mom about the fight and where it happened, the first thing she said was that they bought and sold slaves at the location. I never knew that, but you learn something new everyday of your life. I also want to thank you Sir for your commentary!
Florida's governor has taken black history out of the books, and sixteen other states are considering it. This is not time to go around to reach the destination. It is time to go through without discussion. No violence needed. Rewrite the books and dare the dispute. Virtual schools can be used. and let the public systems shut down without us, just like the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The city lost millions then decided to act right. I think Employment Law can be applied to this. If not, just go through to get things done. Once again, no violence needed. Brains and imagination will take you far.
Isn't Montgomery a big town? I like to take moments like this and put "Try that in a Big Town" in memes as my big city lib'rul (and damn proud of it!) rejoinder.
Its not my place to say what should be done in Montgomery. I dont live there but the LEAST the country can do is give the money back that was lost when the Freedman's Savings and Trust was mismanaged into the ground. Congress looked at the situation and recommended action but the next administration was disinclined for personal reasons to follow up. Cant see clearly or perform duties properly when your brain is riddled with racism. Reparations are slowly gaining in popularity... I say we should put our foot on the gas pedal, hurry things up....
I’m sorry to my fellow black and brown American brothers and sisters for my ancestors actions. We will create a better America, and world, together! Love you all
I'll be waiting. Imma hold u to it. I don't believe a group of people that had ancestors sit around and have lunch with hanging dead bodies is capable of doing something that doesn't benefit them. Just not in the DNA.
Im a 74 year old yt woman and when i saw the video's circulating Sunday afternoon, i found myself cheering from my bedroom and it felt like a glorious moment in history i was witnessing. I did not see any gang violence, i saw people of color coming from every direction to the aid of a black man that was hard at work being assaulted by some uppity yt people that thought they could do whatever it is that ignorant yt people do. By the end of it, the yt folks were cuffed and i had tears of pride for how well it went down. It was a freaking glorious moment in time, hopefully a moment in history that won't fade away any time soon. Black Aqua man was a hero and i will never look at a metal folding chair the same way!! -♡ POWER TO THE PEOPLE
The same day hours before the altercation a group of African American women had prayers and ceremony honoring the ancestors sold there. Our ancestors were present and said NOT TODAY. I appreciate you posting your perspective. 🙏🏾
I think the Riverboat was coming in too, it was a safety issue. What a sense of entitlement to think that someone with authority can't tell them to move.
The man attacked was actually the co-pilot of the riverboat Harriet II. And the reason he untied and moved the pontoon boat was because the riverboat had been waiting for 45 minutes to dock. I agree that It's totally crazy that they didn't just move their boat after being asked to do so several times. Pure ignorance and insanity. Then to attack the man for doing his job? They definitely got what they deserved.
@@lisalisa4182 What is odd about it is typically they would probably be the type of people who are telling us "You better listen to authority!". I guess they only like authority coming from certain a type of person.
Respectfully we’re Black. I wish my ppl would stop accepting being titled “African American” as if we aren’t natives of this country. Our ancestors were African.

@@michaelmayojr.2730 exactly! I always said that, you never hear White ppl title themselves as European American. They label us as that to lessen/minimize/dilute/ weaken our native status in the country they stole from the natives.
As a 43 year old black man born and raised in South Georgia Beau i thank, i love you, and i see nothing but a true brother in you... Again thank you...
I am African American and I watch you because you keep it real. You call it like it is no matter WHO it is !! Thank you for being fair and keeping it real. ❤
Props to the the first black brother that responded coming down to try to separate the fight and also the16 year old young brother that swam over to help his outnumbered coworker. Self defense is the way to go. Courageous lot indeed.
There was also another 16 year-old Deck Hand (White Male) who stepped in to help his colleague. He got viciously punched in the chest by the 48 year-old assaulter.
Yes, Beau missed that the guy being beat was the co-pilot, not a "dock worker", but yes, props to everyone who stepped in and stepped up for their co-worker, regardless of the color of their skin
It explains a lot though. That 4 years has defined their entire personality for over a century, should we be so surprised that ANOTHER 4 years got them so riled up?
That's true, but it was brewing for a long time before it actually erupted. For example, Bloody Kansas occurred between 1854 and 1859, seven years before the attack on Fort Sumter. What's even more bizarre is the most infamous Confederate flag, with the starred blue X across a red field, wasn't even made until 1863, two years into the war. But they cling to it as if it showed up at the same time as the Bible.
Vivek Ramaswamy in a New Hampshire town hall said Juneteenth is an unnecessary holiday. So the genocide of the Jewish people was horific enough to justify the creation of an independent state for them to call home. 500 years of slavery and 14,000 lynchings is apparently not horrific enough to give African American people a day off.
Lol wasnt 500 years of significant slavery here. Besides lol far more whites been put in slavery than blacks. Learn all of history before you try using part of history. Lol just the history of Australia has far more white penal slaves than USA had blacks. Lol why aren't you going after Spanish and Mexicans along with Portuguese? They put way more Black's and natives into slavery. Besides most American Black's aren't descendants of slaves anymore due to immigration.
And the thing is - if he thinks it’s useless, he can simply opt out and go to work like nothing is going. Not like he EVER had a legitimate reason anyway lol he’s not of me
Statistically, recorded by the Bureau of Justice, black on white crime happens far, far more often. How often does the media give that airtime, being such a prevalent occurrence. Almost as if theyre intentionally NOT showing it. Who is it that should be tired of it ?? The guys in vid are assholes, I'm white and been jumped by whites, also blacks too. The media's only goal is rile the public, and they've gotten very good at it.

Thank you for the context Beau. As an older, white northerner not originally from the US, I saw the video and didn't realize the context. I could tell the white guys were beating on a black man who appeared to be doing his job. I didn't realize the emotional context for the black people who joined in. Not on those docks indeed.
Ground Zero for civil rights indeed ☝ well over 435,000 black people thru THAT port alone ..no one TODAY will stand by & let someone be killed right before their eyes, even at the hands of police hell 💯
To rephrase this for those dense enough not to get it yet. Imagine some German guy (I am of German ancestry myself) parked in the loading zone of the Holocaust museum. A Jewish man tells the German not to park there. In response the German man starts beating the Jew... See the problem yet. It does not matter how rude the Jewish man was or how polite he may have been. If the end result is a German guy beating a Jewish guy at the Holocaust museum, People are going to step in. And a parking ticket is going to be the absolute least of this hypothetical German guy's worries.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! So glad you get it! That dock has a history of being a slave port. To see white folks defile that very space by beating a black man - GANGING UP ON HIM...Yep, that's why there was a response.
And this is not a metaphor. This is literally what it is. the equivalent of one (no, four) German guys beating on a Jewish guy who told them not to park in the loading zone of a Holocaust museum. When you're not even supposed to be catching virtual Pokemon there (which is an act akin to chasing and catching butterflies or other small insects), let alone parking in the loading zone of that spot.
Right and imagine situations that happen like this daily that aren’t recorded. This type of shit and worse has been going on to black people. And we are tired!
I just don't understand why they just didn't move the boat... If dock worker (no matter how rude he was) told me to get my a$$ of that dock... I would have just moved... He works there...I don't.
@@bjornstahle4652 Because they were white, and the dock worker was black, how dare a black man tell whites what to do, thats what was going on in their minds.
@@bjornstahle4652 racist, well off white people from Selma, AL being told what to do by a black person... That's all they needed to be resistant. It's 2023 and yes, Alabama is STILL like this.
Maybe another reason why ALL Americans need to be taught the real history of America. If you want to be a proud American you need to accept there is a lot a bad history to go with the good. The IDEA of America is still evolving but it wont live if we don't cover everyone with the same blanket........... WE THE PEOPLE
As a 35yearold female Maori, I would say that the racism towards blacks, is evident as it always was and the rest of the world which is non white, is here to support them
White people aren’t the only people that are racists! Why aren’t we talking about all acts of racism even the one in Chicago where all the black kids attacked the white woman and white man? I know I know it doesn’t fit the narrative. Wake up people.
These brawls are a dime dozen when it involves only black people or black people attacking whites. let whites initiate one brawl and it becomes national news. The self-flagellating comments by white liberals and indignant comments by blacks are comical. LOL.
Please understand that more of us are educated and love all people because in the end we are all souls, made by God, as one, just with different skin tones, as hair colors are. Now, being the whites population base is pretty high here in America , your going to run into some real idiots. I've no clue to the percentage of whites that are either just stupid or the worse scenario of being racist. We just don't hang with anyone in those groups , so no idea. Now if we look at all different peoples here in America, I bet that percentage of whites is close to every other culture and its a shame. Peace and love my friend.
Is 80% of Black people educated themselves about the true true crime stats we wouldn’t have this problem. It’s not white people committing 90% of the interracial violence in this nation
@crankyunicorn4423 no, that's not where I was going. I must have not included enough to make since. Yes your right, but actually no one should be attacked. Ill tell you, made me sick to my stomach
When I think about something like that happening in Auschwitz my blood boils. If I go to US one day, I will certainly visit that place to learn and mourn.
Until and unless the US becomes far more civilized, I won't ever visit. Breakfast in Austin Texas at a tiny restaurant sitting with my child. One "patron" said, " If I pulled out a gun and shot you, what would you do?" Threatened in a restaurant, in front of people who did or said NOTHING. That was years ago, it's far worse now. 🥺
I’m an Australian of Jewish descent. Pointing out the similarities between those docks and the camps whose history I’m *intimately* familiar with…? Yeah. Ouch. I’m feeling *angry* right now that those places aren’t being treated with respect. Thanks again for contextualising things so clearly for us outsiders, Beau.
Those white people were from Selma, Alabama. I lived there for 8 years and moved away in 1999. I looked them up on FB. They went to the rich folks all white private school. There were 2 all white private schools still running when I moved away. The "restaurant" they own used to be the gas station where my Mom used to buy cigarettes. We lived in the projects right down the road. I loved seeing the guy swim across and so many people run to defend the boat's copilot. I hope they go to jail but, after living there, I don't hold out a lot of hope for justice.
I was a harbor technician in Whittier, Alaska. No one is allowed to berth their boat in another’s designated slot. I was empowered to grab the jitney and tow their boat elsewhere. Just sayin’…
I grew up on a wharf with professional fishermen. There weren't officially designated berths (and the job being what it was, it was usually first come first serve), but tying up in a way to obstruct other boats was a quick way to find out just how far your boat could drift with the mooring lines cut.
That's exactly what the dock worker was doing when the boat owner came back and started throwing fists. He literally moved their pontoon boat up maybe 50 feet. I just got done watching the video on Indisputable with Rashad Richey.
@@keith6706 Yes I commercial fished for years. There are designated slots and there are the first come first serve slots, which even get other boats tied to them when too full high season. Everyone’s ok with that. But don’t take the assigned ones! All boats are to call in regardless so harbor knows who’s to be put where. Gets crazy fun really, I miss my younger days on the water!
@@keith6706 Crazy as a harbor might look & feel when fishermen come in, there IS a method to the madness, has to be, to collect fees & to alert someone who’s boat is taking on water etc. it just looks crazy, but we knew, even when rafted out 14 deep of boats tied together!
Beau, as a Black woman, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your understanding and perspective of how horrible the actions of the White people were who attacked that lone Black man who was just doing his job. I think they believed that they could give him a beat down, and just go on their merry way. It was heartwarming to see all the people who came to his aid...it was not going to go down that way.
It’s too bad the riverboat didn’t approach and dock itself all over the illegally parked boat. I’ve been to the EJI Memorial and Museum. Being there should change one after viewing.
It should change someone after viewing it but let's be real here. These are people who would be happy to see America go back to the days of slavery. In their minds, going back to that would make America great again....
@@theresebortzfield188 it really is a beautiful place. It definitely has some rough spots though. All I'm saying is, they wouldn't have tried jumping a black man on Anne St. That would've been over QUICK.
Wouldn't that damage the riverboat and pontentialy get people killed? I ain't up on boating lingo but I assume you are talking about the riverboat ramming it, yes? "EJI Memorial and Museum" this video is my first hearing of this particular museum and memorial, but then I've never been to Alabama, I'm a life long resident of Wisconsin and don't travel much. Bringing up museums to reccomend to people though I've been to The National Civil Rights Museum in Tennesee once back in the 90s as part of a school trip. That burnt out bus they have in there is an image that sticks with you even after almost 30 years past having seen it.

10 years of delivering appliances and furniture in multiple states has taught me a lot about people. I’ve been inside over 15,000 homes. I’ve been held at gunpoint, threatened, called a ‘N’, insulted, and assaulted. Never a negative incident with Asians, Africans, Mexicans, Indians, Europeans, Germans, etc. Only with American whites. I’ll never forget being called Subhuman and disrespected because a fridge was too wide for the cubby.
My Ex lives in the South. He told me that when he was a Cable guy. He had to set up the equipment at a Caucasian man home. The Caucasian man was upset to see a Black man showing up to his home. The Caucasian man called the Cable Company very upset. And said to them towards not sending any {N} towards his home.
Thank you so much for saying this. As Black woman who has family in Montgomery and know the history, it's refreshing that you have stepped out to explain this to the masses. Thank you.
@@janethoward2155 - Great question. But the simple answer is, some people just don't know, and that includes some of us. I thought it was significant because he shared the historical context so that we all know. Blessings!
no words. My grandfather was Native American and whenever people of his tribe would visit and I was there I knew my place as a majority white person. Shut my mouth, listen, and wait for one of them to address me while also being respectful. Our tribe was decimated, it's still not even nationally recognized and for me to do anything less is rude. For those docs not to be out of commission and for a group of anyone beating on a worker for doing their job regardless of skin tone but because of skin tone which makes it 100X worse is shameful and disgusting.
Thank you for that history lesson. I am a black person and I NEVER learned about this in all my years of school and college. Your telling of this history, and the heartfelt way you told literally brought me to tears. I could imagine the scene back then. Thank you so much for explaining the HISTORY of that dock. Too bad the RACISTS won't care but I'm sure many non-racists that watched this video will be touched by this.
@halfcourt-rp9ks You skipped right past my point, which is this is AMERICAN HISTORY that should be taught in SCHOOLS, just like we have to learn about white history.

Those yt raycists thugs assaulted a BM who was doing his job. This is the exact type of shyte the song was talking about. Compared to New York Birm is a smaller town. They tried that shyte in a small town and found out.
What people missed in this video or failed to mention is that not only did Black People come to the rescue of this Black Man being beaten by a group of White People is the One White Dock worker who tried to help him also. He deserves respect for trying to defend him too. Bottom line, thank God good People came to the aid of that man who was just trying to do his job. God bless. Stay safe and healthy. Peace
He was a kid working a summer job, not even 18 and no one missed it but doing the right thing is not a reward it should be expected otherwise you keep mitigating the real issue.
@@robertdudley1258 That makes it even more exceptional. The first person to try and help this man was a kid. No said that he should be rewarded for trying to do the right thing... Just given credit for trying to help. Everyone gave credit and praise to all the others who came to help. And this credit and praise was justified. Shouldn't this young man also be given the same credit and praise for trying to help? I think so.
You are so correct. I think the reason why so many people missed the good works of that white gentleman (including myself, initially) is because his whiteness camouflaged his good actions due to the overwhelming violence of the white attackers. Initially, all the whites were running to the Black man to beat him up. The "good white man" who was also running to the Black man was doing so to get the "bad white people" off the Black man. But all the public could see was a bunch of white men running to the Black man, not being able to discern the motives of every white person who ran towards him. The good white man's color camouflaged & his good efforts because he was overpowered, in numbers, by the white attackers. Had this "good white man" been blue, green, purple, or Black, his efforts would have stood out because he would have been more readily seen.
As someone that owns and works for a riverboat company in another city I can tell you for sure that A holes always try to dock where they are not supposed to dock. Many times where my river boat needs to come in and dock after a tour. I've been that guy many times that had to stare down some drunk boaters and tell them to leave the dock with there boat. Many many times. They have acted angry sure. But everyone around me starts chiming in and they eventually leave. Sometimes mad. And there could be a day where one tries to hit me. We people that work the docks absolutely despise people that ignore signs and use incorrect boating practices and especially that feel like they can just dock anywhere like they are entitled. This video is a gift. I'm sorry the violence had to happen but those people that docked there knew they were in the wrong and you can imagine everyone in that area was hoping they would try something.
That remains to be seen, after all were talking about the deep south a place where people don't run from racism, but rather they embrace it. I traveled in the deep southern states awhile ago and the one thing that I learned was I hate the deep south and I'm never going back.
I 'got' white privilege the day I realised that I never had to instruct my sons on how to behave meekly and deferentially towards LEOs, just so they wouldn't be shot or beaten. Just so they would come home. I can't ever unlearn that. I am a white woman and I move through the world with a certain amount of ease just because of that. And I am trying to be better... But holy crap fellow paleskins, do we have to set the bar so damned low??
Well said, and good on you for your conscientiousness and intelligence. But, hey Alabama....need we say more? I mean, I'm in Texas and it's bad enough, but at least most of our cities aren't stuck in 1850.
Ehh I’m white I think you have money privileges. I’ve been pretty well threatened by LEO’s in the wrong places driving the wrong kind of cheap broken car. It’s privilege but it’s not just about race.

The black man on the dock is the Co-Captain of the Harriett River Boat, the boat that was unable to dock for 45 minutes because the owner of the small private boat refused to respond to the loud speaker requests to move his boat. So the Co-Captain was taken to the dock to take care of the situation, and the fight broke out. That man had authority to clear the area so that the river boat could dock. Self-entitled people need to stop this hatred!

As a black woman, born and raised in the south, I’m glad that black men, women, and a swimming black teen came through and said, “Not today!” Listen, I do not “delight” in violence, but I am not a proponent of the whole “Violence is never the answer” ideology, especially when violence was clearly the question. The finding out phase of effing around is a real thing.
I hope bail for the ones who came to the rescue is raised. I also hope that young teen, who swam to help, remains protected and cared for.
Indeed. It's not the answer, it's the question, and the answer is always "Only if you insist."
It's never good to start fights where they can be avoided, but it's even worse to allow predation to occur where you could reduce it to a fight instead. A fight is regrettable, but far better than allowing a lynching or even just a one-sided beating.
violence was needed here to save the life of that man doing his job.

If the shame just cripples them or makes them a whiney jerk, or makes them feel like just feeling shame is enough I neither want nor need it. Your family or therapist can help you process the feels the sins of the past give you.

The difference between the memorials in Europe and in the US is that in Europe the flags of the perpetrators aren't flown proudly, and there aren't statues of the ones who ordered it done.
But God forbid you call a spade a spade and compare Confederate to Nazis, because "those were your fellow countrymen!"
As though that isn't more true in Germany
The thoughts of the many believe that the armed forces of the axis powers and the US confederate army's in general were not brave men, they were. Remember what they were fighting to uphold and force on others, would the world be a better place if they had been successful , NO.
@@hmnhntr Germany commemorates. The USA celebrates. Those sure as hell aren't the same thing.
In order to condemn it you need to public acknowledge how terrible it was. Germany did that after WW2. They recognised the horror of what happened and decided collectively that they didn't want it to happen again so it is taught in schools and they have banned the flag and are pretty strict with measures to stop that kind of hate from spreading.
It is a whole different story with the southern states. Too many people still think that they were the good guys in it all and allowing them to fly their flags and keep their statues standing means they can keep that view just bubbling underneath the surface. Of course they don't say it plainly out in public because polite society would call them out on it but the whole atmosphere in those states is saturated with that underlying current of race superiority. If anyone were to try to take down statues or remove flags they would have to admit that they were in the wrong and they simply can't do that.

As a Canadian, I appreciate your honesty, but I’m still shocked at your lock of knowledge in this subject matter as it pertains to slavery, the deep south and their participation. if this is new to you, my friend, you haven’t scratched the surface about black history in North America, including Canada. Canada was a major hub for the enslavery as well. Do you know that? They were as brutal as others were. They abolished slavery before the Americans and thats why many of the slaves escaped to Canada or Nova Scotia for example.
Black people don’t just experience racism. We feel it. It’s a sense that we’re born with. All we had to do was see the video to know exactly what happened. The white family didn’t feel like they had to take orders from a black man. Had a white man asked them to move; they would have done so immediately.
@@prestonbruchmiller497 You ain’t never lied, fam. I remember my grandmother used a totally different tone of voice when she answered the phone if she thought a white person was calling. This was long before caller ID. I asked her why she changed her voice? She said, “You never know who’s calling.” I knew what that meant as a child.
A white man ordering them around, and their compliance thereof depends on 2 things. How drunk they were, and if he was armed. White people don't like white people any more than black people. There is no sense of community beyond family and even that is highly conditional. If that same black man had been a cop they would have complied without a fuss because he could have shot them. That is the only thing that will get through to a drunk or angry man. Survival instinct.
@@pisces363agreed completely - those pontoon boat owners knew that they were in the wrong, 100% - their issue was not with the fact that they had docked their boat in a space reserved for the much larger riverboat, their issue was with the the fact that a ***black*** man came along and told them that they needed to move.
Their violent response was SOLELY due to the fact that a black man dared to speak to them with authority. They probably would react the same way to a black police officer.

@@shadowbanned636 Think back to how white people reacted when Barack Obama became president. Many of them said, “He’s not my president.” They called him every name they could think of. They attacked his wife, his kids. They questioned his citizenship. After his terms ended; they made sure the next president was a racist. He didn’t win the popular vote, but; they made sure the electoral college worked in his favor.
My point is that white people don’t take kindly to black people being in positions of authority. They think they’re the authorities in almost every situation. That’s why we see so many Karens confronting black people for simply living their lives. White people seem to feel like it’s their duty to put black people “in their place”.
Thank you Beau. To add, I'd bet that, like me, my brothers and sisters and especially that young man that swam over were moved in part because any one of those blows could have killed that man. They were watching another attempted m of a black man by a gang of white folks. We must understand that in all of our celebration, there is severe trauma. That young man dove in that water to stop them from killing his elder and he will carry that truama in his body along with all the other trauma young black men experience from just existing in this country. Please let's not brush that aside. That was a life or death situation for black folks so no, after the first fight is over it wasn't over because they easily could have killed that brother. Now back to celebrating some black unity.
Somebody should start a Go Fund Me for that young man to go to college.

So I was in Montgomery for a family reunion during this event. I met some of the people involved earlier that day. An added piece of context is that there was a Trump rally at the Alabama GOP convention the night before in Montgomery. So the people who started the altercation with the black dock worker probably felt little more emboldened than usual.

My family is from Montgomery. Many of them migrated to Michigan, but when I told my mom about the fight and where it happened, the first thing she said was that they bought and sold slaves at the location. I never knew that, but you learn something new everyday of your life. I also want to thank you Sir for your commentary!

Virtual schools can be used. and let the public systems shut down without us, just like the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The city lost millions then decided to act right. I think Employment Law can be applied to this. If not, just go through to get things done. Once again, no violence needed. Brains and imagination will take you far.
They tried it in a small town....
Isn't Montgomery a big town?
I like to take moments like this and put "Try that in a Big Town" in memes as my big city lib'rul (and damn proud of it!) rejoinder.

Its not my place to say what should be done in Montgomery. I dont live there but the LEAST the country can do is give the money back that was lost when the Freedman's Savings and Trust was mismanaged into the ground. Congress looked at the situation and recommended action but the next administration was disinclined for personal reasons to follow up. Cant see clearly or perform duties properly when your brain is riddled with racism. Reparations are slowly gaining in popularity... I say we should put our foot on the gas pedal, hurry things up....

I'll be waiting. Imma hold u to it. I don't believe a group of people that had ancestors sit around and have lunch with hanging dead bodies is capable of doing something that doesn't benefit them. Just not in the DNA.
Im a 74 year old yt woman and when i saw the video's circulating Sunday afternoon, i found myself cheering from my bedroom and it felt like a glorious moment in history i was witnessing. I did not see any gang violence, i saw people of color coming from every direction to the aid of a black man that was hard at work being assaulted by some uppity yt people that thought they could do whatever it is that ignorant yt people do.
By the end of it, the yt folks were cuffed and i had tears of pride for how well it went down. It was a freaking glorious moment in time, hopefully a moment in history that won't fade away any time soon.

I just got chills reading that. Profound.
I think the Riverboat was coming in too, it was a safety issue. What a sense of entitlement to think that someone with authority can't tell them to move.
The man attacked was actually the co-pilot of the riverboat Harriet II. And the reason he untied and moved the pontoon boat was because the riverboat had been waiting for 45 minutes to dock. I agree that It's totally crazy that they didn't just move their boat after being asked to do so several times. Pure ignorance and insanity. Then to attack the man for doing his job? They definitely got what they deserved.
They didn't see him as a person with authority. They saw a black man telling them what to do.

Being from Alabama, I can tell you not very many people know the Civil War only lasted 4 years.
It explains a lot though. That 4 years has defined their entire personality for over a century, should we be so surprised that ANOTHER 4 years got them so riled up?
i know right?
That's true, but it was brewing for a long time before it actually erupted. For example, Bloody Kansas occurred between 1854 and 1859, seven years before the attack on Fort Sumter. What's even more bizarre is the most infamous Confederate flag, with the starred blue X across a red field, wasn't even made until 1863, two years into the war. But they cling to it as if it showed up at the same time as the Bible.
@@themisdesigns8323 Yes, also not finishing Reconstruction was one of our biggest mistakes. They still believe in the “Lost Cause”.
Vivek Ramaswamy in a New Hampshire town hall said Juneteenth is an unnecessary holiday.

*EXACTLY!!!!!!!*
Lol wasnt 500 years of significant slavery here. Besides lol far more whites been put in slavery than blacks. Learn all of history before you try using part of history. Lol just the history of Australia has far more white penal slaves than USA had blacks. Lol why aren't you going after Spanish and Mexicans along with Portuguese?

To rephrase this for those dense enough not to get it yet. Imagine some German guy (I am of German ancestry myself) parked in the loading zone of the Holocaust museum. A Jewish man tells the German not to park there. In response the German man starts beating the Jew...
See the problem yet.
It does not matter how rude the Jewish man was or how polite he may have been. If the end result is a German guy beating a Jewish guy at the Holocaust museum, People are going to step in. And a parking ticket is going to be the absolute least of this hypothetical German guy's worries.
Even worse than that - because at one point, there were FOUR of them beating on that dock worker when he was down and could not defend himself.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! So glad you get it! That dock has a history of being a slave port. To see white folks defile that very space by beating a black man - GANGING UP ON HIM...Yep, that's why there was a response.
And this is not a metaphor. This is literally what it is. the equivalent of one (no, four) German guys beating on a Jewish guy who told them not to park in the loading zone of a Holocaust museum. When you're not even supposed to be catching virtual Pokemon there (which is an act akin to chasing and catching butterflies or other small insects), let alone parking in the loading zone of that spot.
Indeed. Well said😢

Please understand that more of us are educated and love all people because in the end we are all souls, made by God, as one, just with different skin tones, as hair colors are.
Now, being the whites population base is pretty high here in America , your going to run into some real idiots. I've no clue to the percentage of whites that are either just stupid or the worse scenario of being racist. We just don't hang with anyone in those groups , so no idea.
Now if we look at all different peoples here in America, I bet that percentage of whites is close to every other culture and its a shame.

I was a harbor technician in Whittier, Alaska. No one is allowed to berth their boat in another’s designated slot. I was empowered to grab the jitney and tow their boat elsewhere. Just sayin’…
I grew up on a wharf with professional fishermen. There weren't officially designated berths (and the job being what it was, it was usually first come first serve), but tying up in a way to obstruct other boats was a quick way to find out just how far your boat could drift with the mooring lines cut.
That's exactly what the dock worker was doing when the boat owner came back and started throwing fists. He literally moved their pontoon boat up maybe 50 feet. I just got done watching the video on Indisputable with Rashad Richey.

Me too! Beau is a spokesperson for equal rights.
We all do. Spread the word, grow the channel.
Welcome👍🤙✌️
Thank you for that history lesson. I am a black person and I NEVER learned about this in all my years of school and college. Your telling of this history, and the heartfelt way you told literally brought me to tears. I could imagine the scene back then. Thank you so much for explaining the HISTORY of that dock. Too bad the RACISTS won't care but I'm sure many non-racists that watched this video will be touched by this.
@halfcourt-rp9ks You skipped right past my point, which is this is AMERICAN HISTORY that should be taught in SCHOOLS, just like we have to learn about white history.
Watching that video had me laughing harder than anything I've seen in a very long time. I don't WISH for violence, but I definitely support meeting folks with their own energy, especially punks like those. Just my thoughts.
Sending Love & Light from Mississippi. Y'all stay safe and keep taking care of each other. ✌🏼💚

It baffles me why people are questioning why people rushed to help him. They're really saying they'd just let someone get beat up and stand idly by? How do we survive as a society when the nature of humanity as a social species that wants to help each other has deteriorated this badly?
@@xionkuriyama5697 Right? As often as the Bystander Effect actually DOES cause folks not to intervene on violent acts, I was absolutely thrilled to see how fast people stepped up on the dock.
@@xionkuriyama5697It is strange indeed.
Those calling to "Try That in Small Town", didn't practice what they preach. Their hypocritical behavior is no surprise.
I would love to see the reaction on your face when you realize that Jason aldeans song has nothing to do with race, and in fact applies to the white folks in this situation.... they tried to jump an old man and found out first hand why you don't try that in a small town
I think even the artist would support that butt wopen
Amen
Those yt raycists thugs assaulted a BM who was doing his job. This is the exact type of shyte the song was talking about. Compared to New York Birm is a smaller town. They tried that shyte in a small town and found out.
They tried that
in a small town
and the town showed up...
What people missed in this video or failed to mention is
that not only did Black People come to the rescue of this
Black Man being beaten by a group of White People is the
One White Dock worker who tried to help him also.
He deserves respect for trying to defend him too.
Bottom line, thank God good People came to the aid of that man
who was just trying to do his job.
God bless.
Stay safe and healthy.
Peace
He was a kid working a summer job, not even 18 and no one missed it but doing the right thing is not a reward it should be expected otherwise you keep mitigating the real issue.
@@robertdudley1258
That makes it even more exceptional. The first person to try and
help this man was a kid. No said that he should be rewarded for
trying to do the right thing...
Just given credit for trying to help.
Everyone gave credit and praise to all the others who came to help.
And this credit and praise was justified.
Shouldn't this young man also be given the same credit and praise for
trying to help?
I think so.
Absolutely. The White kid deserves to be mentioned. He got punched as well.

You are so correct. I think the reason why so many people missed the good works of that white gentleman (including myself, initially) is because his whiteness camouflaged his good actions due to the overwhelming violence of the white attackers. Initially, all the whites were running to the Black man to beat him up. The "good white man" who was also running to the Black man was doing so to get the "bad white people" off the Black man. But all the public could see was a bunch of white men running to the Black man, not being able to discern the motives of every white person who ran towards him. The good white man's color camouflaged & his good efforts because he was overpowered, in numbers, by the white attackers. Had this "good white man" been blue, green, purple, or Black, his efforts would have stood out because he would have been more readily seen.
People from other states and countries are watching us Alabamians, this shines a spotlight on how far we’ve come and how far we need to go!
Watching from another country, isn't this just everyday america? Only surprise was that there were no guns involved this time.
As someone that owns and works for a riverboat company in another city I can tell you for sure that A holes always try to dock where they are not supposed to dock. Many times where my river boat needs to come in and dock after a tour. I've been that guy many times that had to stare down some drunk boaters and tell them to leave the dock with there boat. Many many times. They have acted angry sure. But everyone around me starts chiming in and they eventually leave. Sometimes mad. And there could be a day where one tries to hit me. We people that work the docks absolutely despise people that ignore signs and use incorrect boating practices and especially that feel like they can just dock anywhere like they are entitled. This video is a gift. I'm sorry the violence had to happen but those people that docked there knew they were in the wrong and you can imagine everyone in that area was hoping they would try something.
I hate that this happened but am glad trash will be held accountable. Another example of why some people are not safe in their own country
That remains to be seen, after all were talking about the deep south a place where people don't run from racism, but rather they embrace it. I traveled in the deep southern states awhile ago and the one thing that I learned was I hate the deep south and I'm never going back.
🤎💪🏽👍🏼
As a black man from South Central LA I heard you and RESPECT your PERSPECTIVE and I wish nothing but the best for you and yours
This is why I first followed Beau years ago. Always real. Always fair. I love you brother.
I 'got' white privilege the day I realised that I never had to instruct my sons on how to behave meekly and deferentially towards LEOs, just so they wouldn't be shot or beaten. Just so they would come home.
I can't ever unlearn that. I am a white woman and I move through the world with a certain amount of ease just because of that. And I am trying to be better... But holy crap fellow paleskins, do we have to set the bar so damned low??
Thank you for that.
THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT 😊😊😊😊
An apologist is never truly liked by any side. Their "meekness" is common decency.
Well said, and good on you for your conscientiousness and intelligence. But, hey Alabama....need we say more? I mean, I'm in Texas and it's bad enough, but at least most of our cities aren't stuck in 1850.
Ehh I’m white I think you have money privileges. I’ve been pretty well threatened by LEO’s in the wrong places driving the wrong kind of cheap broken car. It’s privilege but it’s not just about race. I’m always scared when I see the cops when I see them in my mirrors. Cops don’t treat anyone they think can’t afford a lawyer with respect or dignity in my experience. At least many of them don’t.
👍 Beau's videos 👍 and history being taught: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Montgomery slaves were brought on the docks.
My gut's telling me that it is probably not a coincidence that Trump held a rally in Montgomery the day before.
He held a rally in another city that same day in Alabama to. He has them hype.
Those where MAGA supporters that got a beat up
Lmao.....only Woke liberals would make that assumption... That's pathetic....Trump 2024... Bring back Common Sense.
GO TO VOTE PEOPLE!! 🗳
Ya think 🤡
Sad that news outlets and "influencers" on Social media, didn't bother to provide this additional information about the history of the site. I saw a Black man trying to do his job and being ignored, disrespected, and when another person tried to come to his aid, all heck broke out. Thanks for the history lesson and providing additional background ❤😮
I assume all of the arrests were the boaters and the dock workers who were defending their coworker were left free? (Or am I hoping for too much?)
I don't have the full list, but the statement from the cops seemed to fully understand the situation. (We'll see if that translates into charging decisions)
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn Why don’t you do a clip on all the idiots that rioted in New York over free PlayStations? Or does that not fit your narrative?
They charged the guy who defended the victims with a folding chair.
@@captianjollyas they should’ve….
That lady felt that blow to head and then they arrested her
@@AbsFabbs The only thing the guy swinging the chair did wrong was he swung it wrong. If he rotated it 90 degrees, it would have been more effective. Too bad a heavy oar wasn't available to him.
